Honda Fit Hybrid
GP5Stock varies — page stays liveThe GP5 marked a massive technological leap forward, replacing the older IMA hybrid setup with the advanced Sport Hybrid i-DCD (Intelligent Dual-Clutch Drive) system. It paired an Atkinson-cycle 1.5-liter engine with a high-output electric motor integrated into a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, allowing full electric vehicle takeoff and EV cruising.

How does the GP5's i-DCD system differ from the GP1's IMA system?
Unlike the parallel IMA system, the i-DCD system features a dual-clutch transmission and a more powerful electric motor that can completely decouple from the engine. This allows the car to drive solely on electricity at low speeds and during deceleration.
Were there early issues with the GP5's i-DCD transmission?
Yes, early models in 2013 and 2014 were subject to several software recalls in Japan concerning the control program of the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. These were fully resolved with subsequent manufacturer firmware updates.
